Kentucky played a decent first half, but could not hit open shots. Defensively, though, they were a smooth wall. No cracks. Arkansas was held to 31% from the floor.
Kentucky needs more offense, and definitely needs to shoot straighter. They couldn't ask for many more open shots.
Go, 'Cats!

AD needs 7 blocks!
I think TJ might be closer to a triple-double actually
expectations are premeditated resentments - cheshirecat
Listed with 4
so only 6 away
Statistics is the part of mathematics that God didn't invent. - Ethan Smith
according to Gametracker
So might not be an official number
Statistics is the part of mathematics that God didn't invent. - Ethan Smith
We missed a bunch of open 3s
but I think we shot well overall
expectations are premeditated resentments - cheshirecat
note to Anthony Davis
You are really awesome. You can do a lot of really great things. 3 point shooting isn’t one of them.

I think AD needs 30 more blocks to te Shaq's single season record?
Tonight! (just kidding)
Proud member of the Big Blue Nation - Let's Go Cats!!!
Davis blocks ..... at his current pace he will have around 170 for the season
Single season record is Robinson at 207, others of note …. Adonal Foyle 180, Shawn Bradley 177, Jarvis Varnado 170, Shaq 157
nice ballhandling move by Jones!

Did you see the magnitude of that FLOP on the Teague drive??!!
insane

Wow they didn’t call Teague for the charge on tag oop bout time

2 early fouls in the first half
I would say it is more about that.
Statistics is the part of mathematics that God didn't invent. - Ethan Smith
Even in the halfcourt though
double team pressure all the way out to half court
expectations are premeditated resentments - cheshirecat
defense hasn't been quite as effective this half
Arkansas scoring much more easily
Statistics is the part of mathematics that God didn't invent. - Ethan Smith
Teague having a good game.
I like what he’s done tonight.
A Sea of Blue -- Kentucky Sports for the Discerning Fan
7 assists
Is that a career high?
Statistics is the part of mathematics that God didn't invent. - Ethan Smith
I'd say this is our most complete team effort overall
I like it a lot
expectations are premeditated resentments - cheshirecat
Other than the charge in the 1st half and the recent "leave the feet" incident, he's been solid all game long!
If your wings don't sweep....
Yes, he did.

Jones and Davis with 5 blocks a piece
Davis with 9 boards, Jones with 8
Statistics is the part of mathematics that God didn't invent. - Ethan Smith
It won't happen
But it would be absolutely awesome if he and Jones both did it
Statistics is the part of mathematics that God didn't invent. - Ethan Smith
TJ has made me happy tonight
he is very close to being 100% if this is an indication
expectations are premeditated resentments - cheshirecat
What athleticism by MKG
that was crazy difficult layup
expectations are premeditated resentments - cheshirecat
3 players in double figures now
Lamb with 9 and MKG with 6, could very well see 5
Statistics is the part of mathematics that God didn't invent. - Ethan Smith
okay, now 4 in double figures
your move MKG
Statistics is the part of mathematics that God didn't invent. - Ethan Smith
Boom - inside outside, everywhere
too much talent all over the court. I love this game!

What is up with the hair? I haven’t seen this look before.
exactly what this team should do to Arkansas at Rupp
Good to see.

Excellent to see
I didn’t need my blood pressure through the roof when I gotta go to bed to get up tomorrow!
expectations are premeditated resentments - cheshirecat
Yes.
They had begun to make me wonder a little. It has been a while since we really played well.

How many assists for Teague now?
career high in assists and boards?
expectations are premeditated resentments - cheshirecat
I insist that Arkansas players try to score against Davis and Jones
I want more blocks
Statistics is the part of mathematics that God didn't invent. - Ethan Smith
nice move by Teague

I am referring to the scramble on the floor for the ball
kicking out to a teammate, keeping it alive
And all of America heard Cal's plea:

i cannot fathom being 6'3"
then sprouting to 6’10", AND not being awkward, how did Davis get accustomed to his new body?

I had such a good feeling about this game...
…that I had my cigar and drank my bourbon before the game started.
American by birth, Kentuckian by the grace of God.
Good job ESPN
The song playing over the highlights as they sent it to commercial was the Offspring’s “You’re Gonna Go Far Kid.” Very apt.
Arkansas with 4 offensive rebounds out of 30 possible
Complete. Domination.

bad luck travel for Miller

Come on..they just mauled Ark
Everybody got enough real-time practice.
Yeah, but Cal is still yelling at them on how to run their offensive sets...
I’ll trust Cal, he gets paid the big duckets…
If your wings don't sweep....
that looked like either a make up call or a "we feel sorry for you call

5 players in double figures now

that would certainly be a sight to see

I can only imagine AD adding few more pounds in a year or so
He will just be too good a defender.
Another 20 would do him well...
Any more would slow him down and you wouldn’t want to do that.
If your wings don't sweep....
79-58
3:16
Statistics is the part of mathematics that God didn't invent. - Ethan Smith
They should re-evaluate assists for this team
a missed shot is good for a davis dunkback at least 1/4 of the time!
I am going to go out on a limb...
and say that AD gets the official ASOB Game Ball tonight.

It was obvious.

They drag their pivot foot all the time.
I can’t believe they get away with it so much. Guess it took dragging about 10-12 inches to get called then.
Yeah, but that was a bunny hop.

No, it was absurd
it was like 4 steps too many
expectations are premeditated resentments - cheshirecat
Yep, my bad.
It was a hopstep, drag and god knows what else. But Lamb was SHOCKED it got called! I love those reactions!
I didn't record this game.
But it was an obvious travel. Too obvious.

I guess this will be a fun post mortem to write. Other than the late night time that is.

It's a wrap.
A lot of good things starting happen with regularity. Ugly parts fading. Things are looking bright blue.
